<p>I think the one describes is a knit cast on. The cable cast on,
you put your right needle between the stitches, put the yarn
around the right needle, pull the loop through and put it on your
left needle.</p>

Hi the knit cast on is basically you knit but instead of pushing
the stitch off the left needle, put the loop you\u2019ve made that is
on the right needle, back to the left needle.

all the time. I think it\u2019s similar to the knitted
cast-on, which people keep showing me and I keep
forgetting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div

long-tail, because I don\u2019t have to worry about
getting the tail length right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div

style="font-size: 11pt;">Make a slip knot and put
the loop on the needle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div
style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">Make an overhand loop and
put it on the needle. Leave a little space between
the 2 loops on your needle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div
style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">Hold the needle with the 2
loops in your left hand (if you\u2019re right-handed like
me.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div
style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">Put the right-hand needle
between the left-hand needle and the piece of yarn
between the 2 stitches, from front to back. The 2
needles make a cross shape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div
style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">Grab a bit of the working
yarn with the point of the right needle and pull it
back through to the front, then put the loop you
just made onto the left needle. This bit takes a
bit of practice, but is easy once you get it. When
I do it, I turn the right needle a little so the
point slides back along the side of the left needle
and the yarn doesn\u2019t fall off the point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
